When it comes to SUVs, the principle of “more is more” still applies. Especially when your wallet is well stocked, you’ll be happy to have reserves of power in case you need it. Currently, the top spot among dynamic climbers is hotly contested. Lamborghini Urus Performante works on asphalt or off-road with 666 hp (490 kW); Aston Martin DBX has 707 hp (520 kW). Now the Range Rover Sport SV enters the ring and at first glance it looks a weight class below the two powerful heavyweights with its 635 hp (467 kW).
However, with its twin turbo and 635 hp power, the ears of those who are experts in this field are perked up. That’s right, the eight-cylinder in the new Range Rover Sport SV comes from BMW and does its job with the same performance as the BMW M5 CS. Not the worst reference. Especially since the Bavarian-British powerplant has 60 hp (44 kW) more power at the wheels than the V8 supercharger in the previous model. There is also a maximum torque of 800 Nm. Impressive values. It’s no surprise that the Power Range accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 290 km/h.
Comfortable and suitable for all types of terrain
But the British are far from showing off their horsepower. A Range Rover Sport SV should not only be extremely fast, but also comfortable and capable off-road if desired. This is what tradition demands, and this is what the better society, at the wheel of the noble Briton, demands. To do justice to this challenging target engagement, the British examined nearly every component. Non-diffuse masses are an important component. So the Range Rover Sport SV rolls on strong 23-inch carbon wheels and relies on carbon ceramic brakes. This means a weight reduction of approximately 60 kilograms.
The “6D Dynamics” chassis with two-chamber air springs replaces the previous roll stabilization and saves an additional five kilograms. Shock absorbers almost completely suppress rolling, pitching and rolling movements. Mercedes’ new G-Class, which was introduced to dealers this year, is based on a similar concept. We would also like to mention the rear axle steering, which rotates the wheels by up to 7.3 degrees. This is paired with a much more direct steering ratio (new 13.6:1 instead of the previous 17.5:1).
Gentleman athlete from start to finish
Range Rover Sport SV performs well on rural roads and motorways. The eight-cylinder engine confidently pushes the almost 2.5-ton all-wheel drive vehicle and produces a powerful sound. In Dynamic driving mode with the exhaust flaps open, the sound becomes a little more bass-heavy, but not annoying. Although the structure in the Dynamic program is more stable than in the Comfort setting, overtaking maneuvers are easy. There the body swings more tensely against impacts. What’s remarkable is how comfortable the Range Rover Sport SV is, despite its 23-inch tires. This shows how well the suspension concept works.
Essentially, the passenger cell in the Range Rover Sport SV is ten millimeters lower than the tarmac in standard versions. SV mode, where the chassis subordinates everything to dynamics, pushes the body down a further 15 millimeters and then tightens accordingly.
The steering wheel does not act as tight as the BMW from the middle position. Despite all its sportiness, the Range Rover Sport SV cannot hide its weight in fast corners and continues to be a gentleman athlete rather than a person chasing the best time.
“Edition-One” is already sold out
Range Rover Sport SV is as stylish as ever. The leather is well processed. But seats fit us only to a limited extent; There is a lack of lateral support and as the driver you sit a little too high.
Range Rover Sport SV is currently only available in the “Edition One” version. The price of the limited edition model produced in Switzerland started at 242,400 francs, but it is already sold out. It is currently unknown when more copies of the new Range Rover Sport SV will arrive in Switzerland and at what price they will be available.
